I replied to him, and I thought it had gotten to the board. Guess not.

Has anybody given Larry the help he requested?
I am not  familiar with the engine you have, but if it has "allthread", completely threaded rods, also called "studs", holding the cover in place, the local auto parts store should have them. Look in all those little drawers and bins in the back of the store. That is where I found the studs for the exhaust manifolds.
good luck

Over the weekend, my son was removing the bolts that holds the valve covers on the Coronet's engine.  It's a 1957 Coronet, 325 engine, and of course, the top of the stud broke off.  It looks like the stud has threads on both ends, with the one end going into one of the rocker arms?  Do these just screw into the rockers (vice grips?) or are we talking major disassembly here ($$$?).   And where would one get a replacement with the proper threads and hardness?

As always, appreciate your assistance and advice.
